I am trying to add more fonts, popular microsoft word fonts, and read books with those fonts. I use fbreader app for reading books and the font choice is very limited as is. Can anyone show how to add fonts without rooting the device? Galaxy tab 2 7 Android ice cream sandwich
Decompile the fbreader.apk , change fonts.( Thats if it uses a custom font and is included in the .apk) Recompile / sign , Push to device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633333
Why not just root and use a custom App to change fonts ( ROM ToolBox Pro for example)? Much easier IMO , but up to you as its your device :laugh:
Read the link below , VERY cool app and most of us have used it and had no problems. Makes your device all "new" in case of warranty issues.

Thanks Sean....Is what a free App?
I heard that fbreader uses whatever fonts thats already on the system?
Sorry I meant is fbreader a free app. Tried to download it via the play store and it says its incompatible with my tab ? SGT2 3110.
Pretty sure you will need root access to alter font settings. If it was in the fbreader.apk I could change them to what ever you wanted. If it uses stock fonts , You would have to change the system font it uses ( just swap the fonts over keeping the same font name so they are referenced in the system )and that would be a system wide change, kinda gets tricky messing with stuff, fun....but tricky
You could , If you had root , decompile system./framework apks and reference new fonts to use. You will need some tools to do this ( All free ) and some knowledge of editing .xml with something like notepad++.
lol Sometimes the easiest way is the best way .......
Can I use my own fonts with FBReader?
Yes. Put your *.ttf and/or *.otf files into Fonts directory on the memory card. Then new fonts will be available in Text section of the preferences dialog.

This replaces a lot more than just font. Your whole theme will change(framework-res & SystemUI.apk).
Is it just stock? Did you add the mobile network toggle in the power menu like in your screenshot?
Here some more......
HERE SOME FONTS.... ONLY FLASH WITH XRCVRY...
REMEMBER....
I CANT GARNET THIS ALL FONTS ARE WORKING....

This thread is unbelievable, why can't people just goto the uot kitchen and do this themselves.
If you try you will be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is and how much more you can actually theme your phone to exactly how you want it!

No it does not change framework-res and systemUI, when you change fonts and/or boot animation you don't even have to upload those files to the kitchen, it does not change them! Try watching the you tube help video on their site

Download one of these packs and you'll see that they are included (the size is a dead giveaway, then the apps are there if you extract)
They don't need to be, but they are...
Don't need youtube vids to see that anyway, I theme manually

Then the OP has included them when they are not needed.
Anyone can goto the kitchen and change fonts without having to upload those files.
If these files DO change them (And i do believe you, I havent downloaded them yet) then the OP needs to change the attachments to font files that dont change them.
Thanks for pointing out that these do change framework, People need to know that before they flash them, I was just pointing out that changing fonts (Or bootanimation) shouldnt change framework or systemUI if it is done properly

thanks, these look alot better then stock

Then you need to do like 10assaye said and watch the videos on the UOT site. You don't have to upload anything to change fonts. You can make a zip with only the fonts. The zips you made are mostly unnecessary. They are 5mb when they could be 200kb. Plus they will change the theme back to stock for custom theme users. And then there's a 7mb one that either contains an insanely large font or is a more modified framework...
I understand what you are trying to do and it is appreciated but you need to understand what you are actually doing.
thanks, these look very nice ...
i just use the font changer app from the market (root needed)and get all my fonts from http://www.webpagepublicity.com/free-fonts.html
tons of fonts
im using bank gothic md at the moment (the Black Ops font)

Hello everyone !
I'm going to tell you how to change Persian or Arabic fonts in beloved Galaxy Note3!!
First of all you need to have Root access , with a simple search in forums you can findout how to Root.
Then you got to install "Root Explorer " or any file manager you know how to work with and gives you system file access .
Now download any font you like or copy from your C:windows/font folder to your SD card and rename it to GS45_Arab_AndroidOS.ttf the font file must be in ttf format itself, which all are in.
Next go to Root/system/fonts and change the font file with name GS45_Arab_AndroidOS.ttf to GS45_Arab_AndroidOS2.ttf or anything so when you regret changing your font you have the original one lol .
However, copy your new GS45_Arab_AndroidOS.ttf this folder.
TADA you just have changed your FONT !! :victory:
or just install fontchanger and change it in advanced mode......TADA
One of the problems in changing the font for me as bilingual user is finding a good font that has good combination of fonts in single file !
You'll get one of the language's font is good and the other would, most probably, suck !
But thanks for the OP, Windows fonts are mostly good for both langs !
Well, you always can find nice English fonts in market for flipfont but they usually change your English font and keep your Arabic/Persian font same as default. But with this method you can change the default Arabic/Persian font as you want then use other fonts for yur flipfont.
Tho you always can mess with system font folder and change anything you want but don't forget to make a backup before anything.
And as for third party apps to do this um I don't know its just more fun to do such things manual !!
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Works like a charm
this is EXACTLY what I was looking for for a long time.
this method changes the font EVERYWHERE. font changing applications only change the font in system and most of the apps stay the same (for arabic only)
thank you
---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------
now is there a way to make a combined font style to change both English and arabic fonts? combined or changing each alone?
or to make the question more clear, which font I should replace to change the english too?
because if I change it from the settings it will change the arabic too

System/framework/framework-res.apk
System/app/Priv/SystemUI.apk
System/app/Settings.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
FOR USERS EDITING IN MOBILE (Root Explorer)..........PC users go down
Now rename the follwing files (Both from your device and the other rom) [dont mix them up. place them in different folder] as
Code:
framework-res.apk
as
Code:

Code:
Settings.apk
as
Code:
Settings.zip

SystemUI.apk
as
Code:
SystemUI.zip
FOR PC USERS
JUST Select the apk and right click and select winzip or any other tool and press extract
From now on use have to use your brain, gut feel, your choices and stuff.
SO Extract the zips
Got to Res folders of each apk
For Example if you are working on Settings go to
Res folder in both your rom and the cm11
in your rom go to the the file which is related to your screen resolution
Eg.
For HDPI -(drawable-hdpi)
and same with cm11 and then start comparing the pictures the both folders and there might be nice pics in (drawble-XXHDPI) folder and that doesnt mean you can take all the pics from drawable-XXHDPI after choosing your stuff replace your images and rename if necessary ( if the images look exactly the same and with different name and rename to the name of picture in your name and replace the pic ) just go into the main folder of the file of your app which you extracted and zip of your rom
For Eg. Its Setting app
after you have edited the pics
Some Other Tips
There are few pictures in blue try to edit theme with gimp or Image Editor By Byte Experts
For chaning Default Wallpaper
Go to framework-res.apk
in that go to res
then drawable
and choose the Image you want and replace the image with same name
9 pngs can be replaced in the same way, but if you want to edit them follow this video- How to easily edit .9.png files
go back to res and then back again you will find all the folders like
assets
META-INF
res
resources.arsc
AndroidManifiest.xml
Select all the files present and zip them then Rename the zip again to " Setting.apk "
now you need to push the file back to your device
Just follow this Thread - How Install a App as System APP
For Setting and SystemUI and for framework
you need to paste them in ROOT/System/framework

Do the Same thing With Settings.apk and system UI

Great guide. Just one point/tip if I may, I see it a lot that People suggest to rename an apk to zip, well in order to open a zip you obviously need to have a program capable of doing so, so just set apks to open with your preferred zip program which will cut out the unnecessary step of having to rename each apk you want to mod.

Hey have a look at my first post and for clock you can modify jbclock+ to make it look like kk and best launcher according to me is holo kk launcher and if your running ICS+ there are many apps that looks exactly like kk launcher which version of android are you running on??

No I actually din't theme it, I used exdailer and dark theme its a light and good looking too
Great thread. Helped me a lot since I'm working on a Android L themed ROM for the galaxy express using Pacrom as base. I've managed to get the settings.apk theme changed like the header and color and stuff. Trying to change the icon colors in settings and theme the dialer and framework res. Whenever I theme the dialer and framework res it the dialer doesn't show up after replacing via system/priv-app permissions -rw-r-r-. And the framework res cause a boot loop. All I did was change some pngs and .9 images and edited the XML's dimensions and styles XML to match up then made any necessary changes to the drawables due to kitkats new theming process. Shoot me a PM thanks In advance.

Well it lots like you have normally edited .9.pngs like any other picture so there is a force close as framework runs throughout the system there is probably a boot loop for now take the apks from youe rom and flash them from recovery and after that while editing .9.pngs you first decompile the apk
Then select the picture leaving that black dots and the border and save and recompile.
I have attached the video in first post
Just wondering if its possible to just apply a part of a theme rather than the whole package? Like just the icons, or just the AOD?

Unfortunately, no. It's been this way since Samsung started offering themes, and so far no solution has been found

On a ported ROM for note 3 I used to uninstall the custom icons of the theme using the titanium backup Pro and used unicon to apply custom icons from the play store.
See how u can work with this info for your own convenience.
There is a way but you must know how to use apktool and have knowledge of what goes where. If unpack a theme store theme you will be able to say swap the lockscreen apk for another themes.
Edge of insanity
You can in fact disable parts of themes if you have root. For example if you want to keep stock keyboard theme and everything else be black, you need to find the apk for that portion of the theme and delete it after the complete them has been installed and reboot. Freezing them won't work.
You can use this tutorial to find the part of the theme that you do not want to apply. Hope this helps.

You can replace the icons for any app inside a theme without root. I mean the ones which are already in such theme. You don't even need a PC!
I have just moved to the s7 edge and I am temporarily unrooted and it took me something like 5 minutes to figure how to do it lol!
Apk extractor plus apk editor (the second one is a paid app) and the trick is done. Just extract the theme you need and replace the icons inside with your favorite ones. Just remember that png files must be renamed to qmg (just renamed, not converted). Recompile and install. Apply another theme and then apply the one you have just modded, that's all!
Weird nobody has shared a guide yet. If any of you appreciates it, I can share a detailed how to.
Apk editor is not compulsory, but it is one of the few paid apps I bought.

Sorry
Easy : if you want for example not the icons of the theme : use ''Debloater'' search it on xda, kill ''Theme ... apicon'' and on your phone you can now see it in app, uninstall, reapply theme and that's all ^^
Hey bro have you managed to make the tutorial? As the previous poster said... Many would like to do the same. For example I'm looking for a way to rip icon pack from touchwiz theme. I don't know how.
The theme is called Grey_abstraction from guy called Alex pie. I like the theme but I love the icons but he does not have it in the theme store. Would you know how to do that?
I'm NOT rooted
So I know that I can download Fonts from the Samsung Store, but they are all fugly as hell. On my S9+, I used GxFonts to install Custom Fonts (the Windows 10 Bahnschrift, to be exact), but it doesn't work anymore on the Z Fold 2 because I see many blame "Foundation" for it on newer Galaxy devices. Is there a new way to install Custom Fonts on the System? It is ridiculous that Samsung devices can be so heavily customized in so many ways, but it is completely impossible to install a custom .TTF font.

Found that one earlier too, but it doesn't allow me to install the Fonts that I personally want like Bahnschrift. I am looking for a way on how I can install the .TTF files directly.
Thanks for link.. Got a few fonts I like in that zip...
